Why Are People Religious?

January 24, 2016

As we get to know our neighbors, we are met with a rich collection of people with different religions and backgrounds. But why are people religious? This week, we look at what religion really is and what motivates people to follow a religion.

When it comes to the religion of Islam, how much do you really know about it? This week we walk through the early history and beliefs Islam and begin the conversation around how it all began and why people might be attracted to follow the teachings of Muhammad and Allah.

Many of us approach Judaism with a false belief that it’s similar to Christianity and we are basically headed in the same direction. That we agree on the Old Testament books of the Bible but the rest will be fulfilled by the second coming of Christ. It might surprise you to know this couldn’t be further from reality. This message on Judaism will help us better understand the history of the Jewish people, the three branches of Modern Judaism, and how this intersects with the Christian Church.
